Companies to Contact – Get Free Stuff!

It is a little known fact that compliments or complaints will get you amazing things from companies…they love to hear your feedback! Simply use the “contact us” link on any of these websites and let them know what you like or dislike about their products. You will most likely receive coupons for either free items or cents off. I say “most likely” because this is not a guarantee, but I personally have had great success with doing this. This is where I get most of my Free coupons from. Pick 10 or 15 and email them (use your junk email account) do this about every few days or so and you will be amazed at the response you will get. 20 minutes of time can easily turn into $50 worth of free stuff!

I’d like to add to please not abuse companies by lying about loving or hating the product just to get a free coupon. Like don’t say “oh I use this all the time” if you’ve never even tried it. You can still write in if you’ve never tried an item just be honest and say that you’ve never tried it and would love to, do they have any coupons or samples available :)

I have had some success with Gillete as well. I had got a few samples from gillette and was asked to review products for them. Once I gave my review, I was rewarded with free P&G products (not sample/trial size, but full sized ones) and high value P&G coupons.

I just received an email Chombard telling me that they enjoyed reading my comments and were sending me a gift that they hoped I would enjoy. Went to the site on a whim because I hade been given a bottle of their Black Rasberry Liquer before Christmas. I used it in a recipe for salmon as well as enjoying a cocktail and just wanted to tell them I thought it was a great product~ Didn’t see them on hyour list so wanted to share! I will let you know what my gift is once I receive it!! :)

Amazing list, and very time consuming to share, you are very giving of your time. I have been doing this for many, many years. But I never combined it with couponing. I used to love the look of the cashier when she rang up my order and then I handed her a batch of free product coupons, of course they called over the manager because they had to approve the large dollar value, when they were done, I literally only had to pay tax. It was awesome when I lived in Delaware, it is a tax free state.

I complained to Victoria’s Secret about a bra that the threads were coming loose on after the first use. I told them that I was shocked because their company has such a high reputation and they sent me a coupon to get a free bra valued at $45 or less

I wrote to “Who-Nu” cookies a few months back and received 2 coupons for free boxes of cookies, plus 2 or 3 coupons for 55cents off of a box…Then they recently sent me another coupon for a free box plus another 55cents off a box again, just because of the season change.

I recently started writing to companies for free or discounted items and have received a pretty great turn out…Below I have listed companies I wrote to and what they sent me:

Regal Cinemas – Sent me 2 free movie tickets good until 2099 for ANY movie (IMAX, 3D, or regular)
EmergenC – Sent me 2 free packets of EmergenC and a $1 off coupon
Clif Bars – Sent me 2 free bars
Luna Bars – Sent me4 free bars and multiple $1 off coupons
Tide – Sent me 1 free Tide pod
Kings Hawaiin Rolls – Sent me a coupon for 1 FREE product up to $6.99 value
Palmers – Sent me samples for several different types of lotion, 1 travel sized bottle of Men’s Cocoa Butter, and several $1-$2 off coupons for any of their products
Starbucks – Credited my Gold Card $12 for a bad experience at a location I used to frequent
Johnsonville – Sent me a $1 off coupon

I got some really cute 18k white gold butterfly earrings for free at http://www.alishabisha.com/free-18k-butterfly-earrings/ I received them today and they are just beautiful. I gave them to my daughter. I couldn’t believe it, but you can get all kinds of things free online. Wow!

Just wanted to add that the earrings are free ($20 value), but you have to pay shipping and handling of $4.99 and by requesting the earrings, you are signing up for an email subscription from their website.

Also its a good idea to go around your house and just contact the products you already use,so you can give upc #’s,ect.I contacted 5 hour energy and they had sent me 6 free bottles.I had also complained to Rave about their new formula hairspray(been using Rave for like 15 years now)and not only did they send me a free bottle but they are going back to their original formula in April because of the tons of complaints they had about the issue.so it pays to complain(only when its legit)I believe in coupon Karma so I keep it true!

I just messaged Bertolli, as it is pretty much the only olive oil I use, and I love their Alfredo sauce, (I told them this, but I did not directly ask for anything!)
I received an email from them telling me that if I want coupons then I need to check newspapers and magazines for cents-off coupons.
Well, alright then!

Okay, so I am loving the idea of contacting companies and giving them some feedback. It’s not something I do often, but after reading this I thought it would be a great opportunity to scan my cupboards and closets and think about the products my family and I really do enjoy using and let these companies know. If for nothing else, perhaps if they know that their consumers like their products, they will continue stocking our store shelves with them!
So, I took the time to email 30 companies. I didn’t flat out ask for anything, but I typed a quick message to say “thank you” and let them know which products I like and why. In 3 days, (which I realize isn’t long), I’ve heard back from 10 of them. Of course they all said “Thank you”, and they appreciated my feedback. After that the responses varied. Some are on your list, but a few aren’t. So I will briefly go over the 10 who have gotten back to me:

Bisquick: “It is our policy we do not give coupons out on request”
**Is it just me, or does this seem like an odd policy?? and again, I didn’t request anything!**
Act II Popcorn: “Please check circulars for coupons, as we have no promotions going on right now.”
Beechnut: “Please enjoy the coupons we are sending you. You should receive them in 2-3 weeks”
Bertolli: “Please check circulars for cents off coupons”
Ball Park: “We currently have no coupons available right now. Please check newspapers and magazines”
Apple & Eve: “Please enjoy the money saving coupons we are sending you in the mail”
Colgate: form “thank you” message
Olay: form “thank you” message
Listerine: “we will be happy to send you any coupons and/or samples that are currently available”
Western dressing: “Please check our site frequently for money saving coupons”

So 3/10 companies who have replied so far have offered coupons and/or samples. I find it interesting that even though I didn’t mention that I wanted anything from them, 8/10 felt the need to mention coupons. I am going to continue to contact a few companies every day. This certainly has become an interesting experiment!

If you email Nivea and request samples and coupons you will get quite a few coupons and bodywash, and lotion samples for both men and women if you also request for men’s samples. It’s a really great little supply!

I have been doing this for years, and have found that so many other people have now started complimenting and complaining to companies that companies general response now is to let you know that they do not offer coupons which is a joke because if you happen to have a complaint then they have coupons to offer.

If you contact GLAD, they will send you a 8.50 coupon, Energizer will send you a 10.00 coupon, Schick sent me a free razor and 14.50 in coupons, Hefty sent me a 13.00 coupon, Hidden Valley Ranch sent me a coupon for a free 16 oz bottle!

I called Johnson baby and baby magic and told them I was soon to b a new mom and was looking forward to trying their products . I asked if they had any coupons and both were extremely friendly. They sent me coupons in mail. Baby magic- one .50 coupon and Johnson baby – two $1 coupons

Huggies, Pampers, Aussie, Herbal Essences, Venus, and Dial all sent me coupons. Dial was a little difficult, but I eventually did get coupons from them. I emailed Meow Mix and they don’t send coupons, so don’t waste your time. I’ve put in emails to Downy, Hefty, Dole, and Expo Markers and I’m waiting on responses.

I have been writing companies and couponing for a few years now, and it has saved me a lot of money. Last month I went on another company writing spree, and it has paid off big time. Southern Recipe sent me a box with 7 bags of pork rinds, Pepsi sent stickers, Turkey Hill sent about $10 in coupons, SCJohnson sent $17 worth of coupons, Propel sent me a water bottle with 10 flavor packets and $6 worth of coupons, Snyder’s of Hanover sent a free item coupon up to $4 value, Stash Tea sent me 4 free tea bag samples, Quaker sent a $6 coupon for use on multiple products at one time, and I’m waiting for other company goodies right now.
